Juga kosong di Pondok Indah. There was a rumour that Fatmawati might have some, but empty there also.

Another one. VPower is the 95 octane petrol here.

And also the public holiday on Friday. Friends here have said that 98 had lulls and spikes of activity so not sure what to make of where things will go next. With Prabowo’s arrangements with Megawati there is effectively no opposition in the DPR, so it feels like political elites are very separate.

This week has felt calmer, with many corporates calling for work from home arrangements for their staff and a larger, more ready police mobilisation. There are signs of being less heavy handed (e.g. with minors arrested and released) but at the same time tear gassing university students on campus.

There might be a feeder train from the airport, but the MRT currently just runs from Central Jakarta to the financial district and some of the main arterial of South Jakarta. Ride sharing includes as part of their strategy of getting a motorbike to take you the last mile to or from the station.

Well, everything there has kind of stalled. Prabowo is focusing on things like free school meals and the sovereign wealth fund. Jakarta has a nice, modern MRT now but unfortunately it just doesn’t go very far. Alternate day license plates schemes just cause people to buy two cars.

Though in practice it has been tied up with presidential egos, which leads to this on-again off-again situation

Hah, I see the typo now. Although I think a part of it is also the coal power plants which also make the air pollution unbearable. Living here I have sympathy for relocating the capital. The day time population of greater Jakarta being around 32 million is because of poverty and where opportunity is

If we are going to cede authority to the answers that LLMs give us (like over time trusting ChatGPT as the “truth”) do we need more diversity in the available models, across training material in different languages in order to represent different contexts? 2/2
